Arnold will win on "fear factor".
Edited on Thu Aug-07-03 10:53 AM by marshmellow
Watch the "fear factor" increase closer to CA's special election.

A coordination with the terror alert system and press released fear mongering will help Arnold's election bid. Arnold will even use old movie lines for sound bites that will run on news shows.

I'm faving "hasta la vista, baby" for the latino voter.

Much like Mia Farrow in the "Purple Rose of Cairo", we think screen characters are real and Arnold will protect us as the "terminator".

1. He doesn't have a chance
He will do about as well as T3 did at the box office.

5. i should have gone to see T3
if more people had done that, the extra money might have kept ahnold in the movie business and out of politics.

but oh wait, if ahnold didn't run, then riordan probably would have. never mind.

this election is going to be about which party does a worse job shooting itself in the foot.

3. Makes about as much sense as 'until the view' n/t

4. "I AM A MACHINE!"
That's his Arnold line in his latest flick.

He'll probably win.

And I wouldn't care so much (because he's fairly moderate) if I didn't know that this is all part of a national Republican power grab.

6. People will see through Ahhhnold
I have no doubt that he is a smarter guy than he plays in the movies, but let's get real for a minute.. He's an opportunist who has NO experience.. He ramrodded an afterschool program through via proposition.. Well, CA has had its share of goofy propositions.

Ahhhhnold's run can be likened to the Holiday Inn Express commercials.. He comes across as someone who knows what he's doing, BUT after you listen to him for a bit, you realize that he's just vamping..

We have to somehow get the message out to all Dems, to vote NO and then it does not even matter how many are on the ballot..

It's too bad that Cruz Bustamante did not come out sooner and offer to be the alternate candidate.. It should be a GIVEN.. We ELECT our lieutenant gov..HE should be the automatic go-to guy if the gov is removed or steps down...for any reason...

If Chimpy got impeached, we would not get a "do-over"..we would get Cheney :(
